What is Anxiety?
The experience of anxiety is something we are all familiar with, but do we often reflect on what is actually occurring?

“I have over twenty years experience in various mental health roles, extensive psychotherapy and psychology training and a warm, empathetic approach that I can draw on to help you better understand the challenges you are facing and identify and implement positive changes to regain a feeling of control over your life.”
About Me
I offer a warm, empathetic space to explore the challenges you face. Drawing on over two decades of experience and extensive training, I use an integrative approach. This allows me to tailor our work to your unique needs. We'll collaborate to help you gain clarity and identify practical steps. This process supports you in regaining a feeling of control, helping you move forward.
Approach
Finding clearer meaning in what feels overwhelming guides how I work with you, shaping a practical, collaborative rhythm to our sessions. In Cork City or online, meetings are unhurried and focused — we use conversational exploration alongside structured skill-building and grounding practices, pacing deeper processing to your tolerance. Between sessions I may suggest brief reflections or exercises to consolidate learning and track shifts. This approach often benefits adults, couples and older clients seeking steady, manageable change.
